	This is working due to some trick of your local resolver.
*.domena.pl won't resolve www.ddd.domena.pl, wildcards don't work like
that.

Make an A record for that host, or *.ddd.domena.pl. Also, your domain is
delegated to:

domena.pl.              1D IN NS        ns1.popnet.pl.
domena.pl.              1D IN NS        dns.aspa.pl.

But the second server has no A record. That's going to make your life very
difficult.

Good luck,

Doug
